As we reported last month, Halo 3 is October's second free download for Games with Gold, following on from Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes HD. Xbox Live gold members can download it right now from the Xbox Live Marketplace, after which time the game is yours to keep forever.
There's something quite poetic about having Master Chief's Xbox 360 debut being among the last free titles on the platform before the Xbox One launches next month (next month! Can you believe it?). Halo 3 was one of the titles promised by Microsoft when the Games with Gold program was launched all the way back at E3 in June.
Any guesses/requests as to what the next free games might be? The program is set to run until the end of the year at least, but at our Xbox One community event recently, Ed spoke to Xbox Live product manager Pav Bhardwaj, who hinted that it could "evolve" into something else into 2014.
Update - Microsoft has also discounted Halo 3's Mythic II Map Pack. £3.37 gets you three maps - Heretic, Citadel and Longshore.
Update 2 - The good times just keep on rolling. Halo 3's Cold Storage and Heroic Map Pack can also be downloaded for free.

MIAMI–Manny Gaunaurd is retiring from Imusa effective tomorrow, with former vice president Raul Corzo succeeding him. Gaunaurd said he will pursue consulting opportunities.
Gaunaurd and Corzo co-founded Imusa in the United States 20 years ago. Having previously overseen sales and distribution of brand products, Corzo will now also be responsible for leading product development and nurturing its retail partnerships.
"The company could not be in a better place," Gaunaurd told HFN. "We're in rock star mode. Raul has been with me since the beginning; he's ready to step up and I'm ready to step back … I'm happy to see the brand grow and it's only growing more." Gaunaurd said his new consultancy will focus on Hispanic consumer products that do not compete with Imusa.
Corzo said in a release, "It's an exciting time at Imusa now especially with development for phase two of the GlobalKitchen line underway, along with development of larger plans for expansion of the small appliance category in 2015."

22-year-old Emma Sulkowicz made headlines this year when she protested Columbia University's decision not to expel her alleged rapist by carrying her dorm mattress around with her. All over campus. All the time.
Now, Sulkowicz (sans mattress, sadly) will be attending the State of the Union address along with New York Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, the New York Daily News reports. President Obama is expected to expand on his plan to offer all Americans two years of free community college. But Sulkowicz's presence shows that college tuition isn't the only issue at stake on the nation's campuses.
"I hope he will also talk about working with our bipartisan coalition in Congress to make campuses safer, too," Gillibrand told the Daily News. "I hope the President will seize this opportunity to shine a national spotlight on the need to flip the incentives that currently reward colleges for sweeping sexual assaults under the rug."
The press called her a "Queen Among Thieves" and the person who "first put crime in America on a syndicated basis." In 1884, The New York Times named her "the nucleus and center of the whole organization of crime in New York City." During the Gilded Age, Fredericka Mandelbaum, a German-Jewish immigrant, rose to power as the country's premier fence—seller of stolen goods. Described as "a huge woman weighing more than two hundred and fifty pounds" with "extraordinarily fat cheeks," Mandelbaum was the head of one of the first organized crime rings and a driving force behind New York City's underworld for more than twenty-five years. J. North Conway, who has written the new biography "Queen of Thieves: The True Story of "Marm" Mandelbaum and Her Gangs of New York," talks with The Forward's Sarah Breger about life in the Gilded Age, chasing the American dream and why no one has turned Mandelbaum's life into a Hollywood blockbuster.
Sarah Breger: What brought Fredericka Mandelbaum to New York?
J. North Conway: A combination of factors including the infamous potato famine of 1848 and increasing restrictions against Jews in Germany brought Fredericka to the United States in 1850. Her husband Wolf, had sailed a few months earlier, so she was traveling alone in steerage with a new baby. She was so tall that some documents I've seen said she had to stoop the whole time.
SB: Why did Mandelbaum enter a life of crime?
JC: This is a story of coming to America for whatever reasons and trying to make good. Like every immigrant she was trying to make a better life for her children. She came for the American dream and it happened to be the only job she could get was in crime. And she was good at it. I couldn't find where she learned the ropes or if she had an innate ability but she knew how to set up this criminal network. She knew enough to bribe the right people, and she knew protecting her interests meant protecting a cadre of criminals; if they went to jail, they couldn't steal things, if they couldn't steal things, they couldn't sell to her, and then she couldn't sell to other people. If you were to do a flow chart of her enterprise, it would look like a very functioning business today. As a business model you would say she would be up there with the Bill Gateses of the world.
The Lady Aye from Jewish Daily Forward on Vimeo.
"For me a lot of the skill is not so much in shocking the audience — it's in building the suspense," explained Ilise S. Carter, a professional part-time sword swallower in New York who performs under the name "Lady Aye."
And it's true. Most of us react with shock and amazement when we see someone sticking a sword down his or her throat. But the spectacular part only takes a couple of seconds. Most of her time on stage, Carter tries to connect with the audience and create the tension that will turn her working act into a memorable experience.
"I'm one of the world's very few female sword swallowers," is one of her opening lines. That's also true. According to Dan Meyer, president of the Sword Swallowers Association International (yeah, that's an actual organization), this rare and potentially life-threatening practice is still part of a male-dominated business. The SSAI estimates that only 15% of the few dozen professional sword swallowers are women.
What's more, Lady Aye is a minority within a minority. Based on my research, she is the only female and Jewish sword swallower in the U.S. (But it's difficult to confirm the exact numbers of such an offbeat occupation.)
An all-female, all-Hasidic rock band? Alright!
Throw in an all-women crowd, and you've got the Bulletproof Stockings show which took place at Arlene's Grocery last night.
After several unsuccessful attempts, in which venues have backed out last minute, Bulletproof Stockings finally managed to showcase their music and let their hair down (figuratively, as all band members wear wigs, per Orthodox custom) with their fans.The five-part band played to a packed house at the rock venue in New York's Lower East Side.
For the first time in its history, Arlene's Grocery closed its doors to men, who were allowed in the bar outside, but not by the actual stage. The modesty prohibition of kol isha forbids women to sing in front of men. As a result, Bulletproof Stockings only performs for women.
Bulletproof Stockings // Facebook
It isn't everyday that Arlene's Grocery hosts a show for women only. But that's what will happen Thursday night when the all-female Hasidic rock band Bulletproof Stockings takes the stage at the iconic Lower East Side venue.
The modesty prohibition of kol isha states that Hasidic women cannot sing in front of men. The group — led by Perl Wolfe, 27, and Dalia Shusterman, 40 – has had trouble booking gigs restricting male attendance in New York City after forming in Brooklyn a few years ago. The manager of Arlene's Grocery was hard to convince at first, but she warmed up to the idea after seeing how devoted Wolfe and Shusterman were to gaining fans. They hit the streets to promote the show and got signatures from women who promised to see them play.
"We did take a little bit of a risk on them," the venue's manager, Julia Darling, told the New York Post. So far there have been no complaints. The Post notes that Arlene's male employees are exempt from the ban.
The band says their style is influenced by blues, jazz, rock, and even classical music. Wolfe's piano playing is front and center.
Thursday's show will be filmed by the Oxygen Network for their upcoming series "Living Different."
Gneshe Bron of Wigs by Gneshe / Martyna Starosta
On the Wednesday evening before Passover, Gneshe Bron sent out the last freshly washed and styled sheitel from her salon, Wigs by Gneshe. She swept the tan linoleum floor clean of hair, washed the styling table and chair and plopped down on the black leather couch to breathe a sigh of relief.
"There is nothing like the feeling of sending out that last wig and closing shop for Pesach," she said.

Earlier this week prominent atheist Richard Dawkins said some pretty insensitive comments about sexual assault on Twitter. "Date rape is bad. Stranger rape at knifepoint is worse. If you think that's an endorsement of date rape, go away and learn how to think."
This was a follow-up line to an earlier assessment on the social media platform that "Mild pedophilia is bad. Violent pedophilia is worse. If you think that's an endorsement of mild pedophilia, go away and learn how to think."

As the rose petals settle from the aftermath of the "Bachelorette" finale earlier this week, the blogosphere is on fire dissecting Jewish Bachelorette Andi Dorfman's acceptance of Josh Murray's proposal. The finale had all the makings of good TV: A heart wrenching profession of love and an angry confrontation between Andi and scorned bachelor Nick Viall and an appearance by Grumpy Cat.
Brenda Rosenberg, who goes by the online moniker "Brenda Turtle," is a social media celebrity with thousands of followers. She posts photos of herself in suggestive poses, often repurposing religious paraphernalia like tefillin (phylacteries) or a tallis (prayer shawl) for the added shock value, since no Hasidic and few Orthodox women utilize those items. Many of Brenda's fans are Hasidic men hiding behind fake virtual profiles. So when Brenda was in a tragic car accident with a few friends last week, some of her followers, operating from covert locations where the Internet is banned and where God is a swift and predictable punisher, said she deserved it. Hashem wants you back on His good side, they beseeched her.
What ensued was a mini social media firestorm, with Internet denizens arguing for and against her shtick. Some suggested she is deeply disturbed, while others said that she is young and naïve and is being taken advantage of by repulsive and perverse Hasidic men. Others, still, insisted that she is a Jewish Madonna, a misunderstood artist.

Sue-Ann Levy doesn't sound like the devil, which a 2012 headline in a Toronto publication, The Grid, suggested she might be.
In fact, the woman who picked up the phone to chat with the Forward's Michael Kaminer has a sweet, chirpy voice and an endearingly cheery manner. But these qualities belie the Toronto Sun investigative columnist's steel spine. An out lesbian and relentless advocate for Israel, Levy's also a dogged reporter whose scoops on municipal corruption and cronyism have made her both an idol and a punching bag.
Detractors have pounced on her more outrageous actions, like her 2012 tweet implying Barack Obama may be Muslim. Enemies have called her "an Internet troll, but in real life." But those jabs just seem to stoke her. "Either you love me or you hate me," she told the Forward from the home she shares with her wife, interior designer Denise Alexander, and dachshunds Kishka and Flora.
Talia Liben Yarmush and her family
I always imagined having a large family. I was the middle child of five, and although I can't honestly claim to have loved every moment I've had with my siblings, I feel immensely blessed to have them. Growing up, they were always my biggest role models. I emulated the way my older brothers spoke, I listened only to the music they listened to, and I even wore their hand-me-downs. My younger siblings were my most treasured playmates; we climbed trees in the front yard and played make-believe in the basement. My brothers and sister were allies against our parents, they were my confidantes and they were my refuge. Today, they are my closest friends. And when I need advice on something, I know just who to ask for each problem.
Six years ago, when I was hit with the shock of infertility, and I knew it would be difficult to have children, my expectations of family size changed dramatically. A little after a year of marriage, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, one of the leading causes of infertility. I had two surgeries to remove the growths inside of me, but they grew back with full force each time. My doctor was clear: in vitro fertilization was the only way I would get pregnant. I went into my first cycle of IVF without a clue I thought, This is it! I'm about to grow the family I always dreamed of! I suffered through the daily injections and the blood drawings and the vaginal ultrasounds, because I knew that in the end, I would have my baby. But after two full cycles, I was left alone with just another negative pregnancy test and I thought maybe I was asking too much. I stopped dreaming of a large family.
Joanna Rakoff
Joanna Rakoff's lovely memoir, "My Salinger Year," brings to mind an image from the Talmud in which an unopened letter stands in as an uninterpreted dream. Rakoff, a poet, novelist and founding editor of Tablet Magazine, has written a book that braids together a stint after college assisting JD Salinger's literary agent with her coming of age story. It's about the year that she was one of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of young women in New York City carrying tote bags bursting with manuscripts while balancing a cup of coffee from the Greek deli on her subway ride to work.
I was one of those girls too. I read manuscripts for Harper & Row, forerunner of Harper Collins, and then for GP Putnam & Sons. I was in publishing before the confusing mergers — when everyone used blue pencils to edit and typed press releases on Selectric typewriters.
When I read the story of Israeli women sending sexy photos off the to IDF to wish them luck and boost morale, my reaction was more of a bemused shake of the head than anything akin to the outrage, confusion, and energy-draining sorrow I've been experiencing while reading a lot of recent war-related stories.
The same can be said for my response to the tale of the observant women in New York who are campaigning for an Israeli victory by holding a modesty contest at home, convinced that immodesty brings bad events to brethren abroad. Good luck covering those elbows for your cause, ladies. As Talia Lavin writes, her tone laced with irony, "The way to "help our brothers in their time of need," apparently, is to suppress every inch of skin their sisters possess." She even suggests an Iron Dome over women's flesh.

"Actress Gisela Werbezirk Arrives In America" announced the Forverts in a 1938 headline, with a photo of the cherubic face of the Viennese comic film and musical theater star.
The Forverts identified her to readers as a hyphenate Jew — "the German-Jewish actress" and located her amidst her fellow artists-in-exile who, it was noted, were "currently escaping Hitler's Germany." Leaping over what that might have entailed, the item ended by citing a forthcoming performance by Werbezirk along with "other actors rescued from Nazi barbarism." You could catch their acts at Nathanson's National Theatre in the epicenter of the Yiddish theatre district on Second Avenue and Houston Street in New York City — she'd truly arrived.

The supportive girlfriend. The doting mother. The devoted daughter. These simplified roles are too often the only options for women trying to catch a break in Hollywood.
The road to the corner office isn't an easy one for a woman. There is the glass ceiling to break, and then the maternal wall to mount and then, if you get that far, there are glass cliffs to avoid. Oh my!
The queries "What is the right age to talk with your children about puberty?" and "How to prevent precocious puberty" — thanks to a friend who scared the living daylights out of me recently — have filled my Google search history of the past few weeks. You see, my daughter, who is seven, was rummaging through her mommy's bag while sitting on the table in the orthopedist's room last week (she broke her poor little foot, but that's a story for another time), and pulled out a tampon.
"What's this, mommy?" she asked, while pulling at the purple sleeve to unwrap this mysterious little gift mom keeps hidden in the inside pocket of her bag.
Oh boy, how do I answer? I wondered, as I hurried to gently pry her hands loose of the mysterious thingamajig and put it back in its hiding place.
"Something, I'll explain later," I said.
Should couples sign a pre-pregnancy contract, outlining how caring for the infant will be equally divided between the two parties involved? Slate's Rebecca Onion thinks so.
Concerned about the potential negative effects procreation might have her on her life and her relationship with her husband, Onion wonders whether a "legally binding document, outlining expectations and setting a course for periodic re-examination of the division of labor, [might] alleviate [her] fears, and prevent aggravation, or fights, or divorce, in the future?"
Sarah Seltzer with her twin brother as children.
I have a twin brother who, as a kid, frequently ran around outside with a ball and his friends — usually in New York's parks. Woe to the teachers at our Jewish day school who denied them gym or recess: they acted up extra-rambunctiously when they were cooped up. One of the cardinal lessons of my childhood was this: If you don't let kids run around, everyone suffers. So that, in part, explains why the boys on the beach in Gaza proved my breaking point — boys who had been shut in for over a week and just wanted to kick a ball around, for a blessed few hours, and feel the air.

On July 31, the NCUA proposed a rule that would give it a role in determining whether a state-chartered credit union is in "troubled condition." Under current law, only a state supervisory authority is permitted to declare a federally insured, state-chartered credit union to be in troubled condition. The NCUA believes that the change would help protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund by leveraging the federal regulator's resources to increase the likelihood that problems at covered credit unions are identified. The NCUA is accepting comments on the proposal through October 1, 2012.

2006 / 2005 / 2004 Comeback Kid / Stats and Profile
Local 26 in Cleveland / Local 28 in Atlanta / Diamondback Wick
Wassup in Wisconsin / Dick Jacobs 1925-2009 / Bob Feller 1918-2010 /
CLEVELAND, OH - RHP COREY KLUBER has been named the 2014 American League Cy Young Award recipient, it was announced tonight by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Kluber, 28, is coming off one of the best seasons in Indians history by a starting pitcher, going 18-9 with a 2.44 ERA in 34 starts (235.2IP, 207H, 64ER, 14HR, 51BB, 269SO). He finished tied for 1st in the American League in wins (18) and starts (34), 2nd in strikeouts (269, 6th-most in single-season club history) and 3rd in ERA (2.44) and innings pitched (235.2). He became just the fourth Major League pitcher to since 1987 to post 18 wins, a sub-2.50 ERA while recording at least 260 strikeouts, joining Bob Feller (1946) and Luis Tiant (1968) in Indians history and Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens in the last 28 seasons. The Indians were 22-12 (.647) during his starts.
The Dallas, Texas native is the fourth Cleveland Indians to earn the American League Cy Young Award, joining Gaylord Perry (1972), CC Sabathia (2007) and Cliff Lee (2008). The Indians are the first team since the Toronto Blue Jays (1996-2003) to have three different Cy Young Award winners within an eight-year span.
By: Paul Hoynes/The Plain Dealer
Right-hander Cody Allen, 25, became the Indians' primary closer in May when John Axford lost the job. Allen is having a remarkable season, 18-of-19 in saves with a 1.71 ERA as of September 1st.
Last season Allen, working in a set-up role, finished second in the AL with 77 appearances. In his first 59 appearances this year, Allen has 69 strikeouts and 19 walks in 53 2/3 innings.
The Indians drafted Allen out of High Point in North Carolina in the 23rd round in 2011. He was the 698th player taken overall in the draft.
Q. What were some of the things you learned last year that have helped you as the Indians' closer?
A. "I picked up little things here and there. I think I got a little bit better at dialing the game down in tight ballgames. Just take it one pitch at a time. If you make one good pitch, you're out of an inning. I feel I've been able to do that this year."
Q. The media guide lists Duck Dynasty as your TV favorite. Why?
A. "I'm a big hunter. I love waterfowl hunting. Those guys are hilarious. They've built a huge industry with their family. They make all kinds of stuff – duck calls, decoys, all kind of gear. "Mainly, I like how they sell the family aspect of it."
Q. Are you going to let you beard grow as long as those guys?
A. "No, my beard won't be that long!
Q. Did your twin brother, Chad, play baseball?
A. "He played baseball at West Florida. He was a pitcher for the NCAA Division II National Champions in 2011. I was actually in his apartment in Pensacola, Fla., when I was drafted by the Indians. We were just hanging out watching TV when I got drafted. "He works at a hospital in Orlando. He does physical therapy for cardiac arrest patients at Orlando Regional Medical Center in Orlando. He's a busy guy.'
Q. What do you like most about being the closer?
A. "I absolutely love this job. I like being able to come in, in the ninth inning in a game like we had Tuesday and cap a comeback like that. We were down 5-0 in the first inning against the Twins and came back and won it, 7-5. To be able to go through the line at the end of the game and high five all your teammates is a great feeling.
Bob Steps In to Help
Tom Mulhern May 19, 2011
He might be known as a former major league ballplayer to most people, but to the members of the River Valley high school baseball team, Bob Wickman is the person who stepped up to help out after their coach was fired.
Wickman, a two-time All-Star relief pitcher who spent 5 years with the Milwaukee Brewers, has been coaching the Blackhawks for the past two weeks after Andy Cowley was abruptly fired at the Spring Green school.
River Valley athletic director Eric Briehl said he could not talk about anything surrounding the firing of Cowley. "Our head baseball coach two weeks ago was dismissed, which I can't go into, " Briehl said on Wednesday.
Wickman was serving as an unpaid assistant for the Blackhawks and agreed to take over the team.
Reached by phone, Wickman declined an interview, saying the job was temporary for now. Wickman was named coach for the remainder of the season, although there is a chance he could return in the same capacity next season.
"As Bob mentioned to me, he said this is a good period of time for a month where he can get his feet wet and see if it's something he'd be interested in in the future," Briehl said.
"Bob wants to remain in the baseball program in one capacity or another. I think we'll see how he feels about running the show for the rest of this year and see what his thoughts are."
Wickman did say briefly that he never expected to be in this position.
"On the whole, I definitely did not have intentions of doing this," he said. I have three children I enjoy watching sports with and I didn't retire from baseball to take a head coaching job this quick."
Wickman retired after the 2007 season, following a 15 year career during which he played for the New York Yankees, the Brewers, the Cleveland Indians, the Atlanta Braves and the Arizona Diamondbacks. He appeared in 835 games with a 63-61 record and a 3.57 ERA. He posted 267 career saves, including a club record 139 with the Indians. He saved a career high 45 games in 2005 with the Tribe.
Wickman played at UW-Whitewater for three seasons and was the schools first major leaguer, and the school retired his #20 jersey in 2003. Bob attended Oconto Falls high school.
So how did he wind up at River Valley? Bob's wife Sue is from the Dodgeville area. The couple built a home in the River Valley school district and moved there after Bob's baseball career ended. He had younger kids coming up through the grade school and wanted to be involved in the program.
"He's been around the community for two or three years," Briehl said. "The kids were quite familiar with Bob and who he was, so it wasn't like somebody came in and it's the first time you're meeting a former major leaguer. He knows the families, knows the kids and has become part of our school district and our community."
Briehl described Wickman as "down to earth" and said his motivation for taking the coaching job was simply to help the players salvage the final month of the season. "For the benefit of the kids is the reason he stepped in."
A career defined by durability |
As the
Diamondbacks carry on, Bob Wickman and his 267 career saves quietly moved on
Monday, perhaps for good.
Wickman retired the only batter he faced on a comebacker Sunday in Colorado,
stranding a runner at third base, and said later it might be a fitting way to
"This gives me a chance to walk off on my own terms if I do walk off," he
"I got the last out that I faced and ended up being pretty successful.
Hopefully, I helped this ball club and took some pressure off some of the guys.
All I wanted was a chance to pitch, and to show to myself that I still could
Wickman admitted to doubts after being waived by Atlanta before signing here
Sept. 8, but he proved a valuable stretch-run addition, giving up one earned run
with a 1.35 ERA in eight appearances.
He is ineligible for the playoff roster because he was not with the D-Backs at
the Aug. 31 deadline.
"I thank Bob Melvin and the whole Diamondbacks organization for giving me an
opportunity," Wickman said.
Wickman has three children — ages 10, 8 and 4 — and said it might be time to
save a few pitches for them.
"I'm 38. I've got a wonderful wife and three wonderful kids that I want to
be able to throw 'bp' to," he said.
The Wickmans have taken their children to spring training every year, and the
family has spent summers in New York, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Atlanta, wherever
he was playing.
"It's getting to the point right now where maybe it's about time to get
settled and let them meet some friends that they are going to have every day.
Whatever decision it is going to be, it is going to be a good one," he said.
"If I don't play, I'm going to be happier than heck being with my family
every single day. If I do play, I'm going to be happy doing the thing I love
to do."
A Farewell to Arm
Two days after the August 24th meltdown against Adam Dunn in Cincinnati, Bob Wickman was at home in Wisconsin hangin' around the pool with the family. They all knew something wasn't quite right. The Atlanta train wreck just wasn't the way a 14-year MLB career should end. His reputation was mangled, and he couldn't even finish the season he struggled so hard with starting in the first place.
The closer needed closure.
He was unofficially retired, having been unceremoniously dumped by the imploding Braves, with every sports media writer that covered the story dragging his name through the mud.
He was called a selfish, brooding and aloof player that only cared about his own stats. He was said to be a clubhouse cancer that complained every time he was given the ball in a non-save situation. He was said to have openly bad-mouthed his teammates and actually refused to pitch in a 6-2 game against the Mets.
Bob made a few phone calls and reached out to some of the many baseball people he had known throughout his time in the Bigs, letting it be known that he was available to pitch if someone wanted him for the September stretch run. When his old friend and teammate Bob Melvin of the Arizona Diamondbacks said, "Come on down, we'd love to have you," Bob saw it as a chance to repair his slandered reputation, prove that he could still get guys out and contribute to a playoff contending team. Choosing to join a bullpen that had the #1 closer in all of baseball in Jose Valverede made the accusations against Bobby seem even more ridiculous to me. He had virtually no chance to take the ball for a save opportunity with this team.
So when I heard that Arizona picked Bob up, naturally I went directly to their schedule like any fine upstanding Wickman Warrior would do.
They're in Pittsburgh the last week of the season! "Thank You, Lord!"
I dashed off a quick note to Bob that the whole gang was coming down, and he responded with tickets for everyone and plans to meet up at their hotel.
It seemed like a perfect night for baseball when we took our fantastic seats right off the first base side of the field. That all changed in a hurry when a freak storm blew in like a tornado in the 3rd inning and drenched the field before the grounds crew could even get the infield tarp unrolled. Luckily, our seats were well protected under the overhang of the upper deck, and we kicked back and laughed as everyone else ran for their lives. They showed a Styx concert recorded in August at PNC on the big screen during the delay as we talked with Pirates fans while they worked on the field.
Everything just seemed right about the trip. I've always been big on setting things right before moving on, and was really glad that my friend's career wasn't going to end in that pile of dust and ashes in Atlanta.
Bob came into the game in the fifth with a guy on second with the Snakes down 5-1, and promptly plunked his first batter in the side with his first pitch. A ground ball double play and a strikeout quickly followed as Bobby got out of his mini-jam. Just like old times.
We high-tailed it back to the Westin immediately after the game, pulled 3 tables together to set up the retirement party and waited for the Guest of Honor. Bob introduced us as his "Warrior faithful" to his teammates as they got off the bus and entered the lobby, and after a few autographs we all sat down to catch up with our favorite ballplayer. The "Guest of Honor" made sure none of us paid for a drink the rest of the evening.
Like a bunch of kids that just got the keys to the candy store, we took turns peppering the Big Guy with baseball questions. He told us the circumstances that led to his trade from the Tribe, and that he held no animosity toward anyone in Cleveland. He vigorously defended Eric Wedge and said he always felt he was the right man to lead the young Indians team to the Promised Land. He told me again, as he did in this same park a year ago, that he was concerned about Wedge taking all the heat for the Fausto Carmona closer disaster and the demise of the 2006 Indians team. Bob said that would be totally unfair to him, and felt genuinely sorry if he had added to his troubles last year.
He told us that he had just called Mark Shapiro to congratulate him for winning the division. They had discussed his possible return to the Tribe after the Braves released him, but they both agreed that it would more likely disrupt the bullpen rather than strengthen it. The media and sports blabbers would turn the situation into a circus the first time closer Joe Borowski struggled, and they didn't need that fiasco heading into the playoffs.
He said the Braves ordeal was largely overblown. He felt that because he only signed a one-year deal with Atlanta that they were going to use him up until his back broke or his arm fell off, whichever came first. When I pointed to Cox using him 5 times in one week back in April and landing him on the DL as the start of his injury problems, he nodded in agreement. He indicated that unless you were in a select group of players on the Braves, anyone with any injuries on that team was deemed a goldbricker that didn't want to carry his load. We noted for the record that a squabble that spilled over into the press at mid-season between two of the "big-boys" over the seriousness of injuries was quickly hushed up.
He said his daily routine, which he followed religiously since his 2004 comeback from Tommy John surgery, was misinterpreted as him being a selfish and aloof loner. He said he never once refused to take the ball in a non-save situation as was falsely reported by the Atlanta media, and that Andruw Jones seemed to have a personal axe to grind with him. His demeanor was never a problem to them last year when he saved 18 of 19 games after giving up one earned run in the final 2 months of 2006.
As the evening went on, Bob gave us the good, the bad and the ugly as we ran the gamut of major league players that he had known through the years. There was no bitterness or regret as he spoke about his career, and he refused to dwell on the negatives as he smiled and patted little Garrett on the head and greeted Dback players and coaches that came over to see what all the fun was about. We finally closed the place down at about 2 o'clock after they started flashing the lights to get us up and out.
The clubhouse-cancer jerk tag that was hung around his neck when he was railroaded out of Atlanta was nowhere to be found. That guy with the sour attitude never did exist. This was the same Bob Wickman that I've known for the past 7 years. My personal guess is that he just didn't fit in on a clannish team that should have been torn down and rebuilt a couple of years ago, starting with their out of touch manager.
He caught me off guard when he turned to me and said, "Joe, I think the game has passed me by." Sadly enough, I couldn't disagree with him. Not knowing quite how to answer, I think I told him that his leaving would be baseball's loss. I always felt that Bob belonged more to my father's era of ballplayers rather than this modern group of distant millionaires. It felt like we were all catching up over beers at a family reunion.
Looking back to how sick I felt when he was released, I was relieved and grateful that he was given this second chance to repair his slandered reputation. Another chance to help a young team make it to the postseason even though he wouldn't be there with them. His assignment here was to help spell the bullpen so they'll be fresh for October. To prove he'll take the ball whenever his team will give it to him, and to finish the season that he started. To finish it his way: on Bob Wickman's terms. J.

Even with my 40 years of architectural practise I keep a copy of Frank Ching's Arch: Form, Space and Order at hand. I frequently use the book as a reference and inspiration.The new copy replaced my 10 year old edition which I had given to my niece who will shortly start a graduate architectural program. I am stunned at how much the new edition has been enhanced and enlarged. Frank has improved his orignal book substantilaly. It feels like a new book.Ted

Asrai Issues Post-Tour Report
Freshly back from the Darkest Tour with CRADLE OF FILTH, GORGOROTH, MOONSPELL and SEPTICFLESH, Dutch goth metallers ASRAI wrote the following report of this European tour that took place in December, ending in an unexpected way:
"We were looking forward to this tour for a long time. Finally the Darkest Tour kicked off on Monday December 1st. Early in the morning together with our tour manager and driver we headed in our van to London, where we would meet everybody and go on the tour bus. Everything went well from Calais to Dover, until we got stuck in traffic. And soon we heard that we were not the only ones... Time was not our friend, so when we heard that there was a possibility that one of the bands couldn't play we drove like maniacs through the streets of London. We arrived with adrenaline rushing though our veins, although it didn't help us much... We heard that one band couldn't play... And in this case it was us... Well at least we had all the time to watch all the shows and enjoyed being there.
"So when after the shows finally 52 people and all the stuff found their way in four tour busses, one truck and a trailer we were ready to go to Paris... Peter brought back our van, ready to meet us at 013. After a bumpy ride we woke up in Paris, with one eye open we saw the Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre and it was time to get up... First we drove straight up to a parking space near the Seine, so there was enough room at the Bataclan to unload the truck. After a glance at the Seine we went back to the bus, up to the Bataclan, where a queue was waiting. The venue was beautiful and the breakfast was nice and more than welcome, giving everybody the time to know one another. Hard work to set everything up on time but it was all worth it. The audience was great and it was nice to finally meet the people from SOM. More...

Vader Planning European Tour With Septicflesh
VADER, SEPTICFLESH, ZONARIA and GILLA BRUJA will team up for a European tour between October 17 and November 2. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.
VADER will play an exclusive show in Egypt on April 11 at La Villa Club in Kair at. Support at the concert will come from local acts WORM and DARK PHILOSOPHY. The show will be organized by Music Gates agency.
Commented Mariusz Kmiolek of the Polish booking agency Massive Music: "That will be definitely an exciting outing, VADER have never played in Egypt and frankly speaking, we feel almost like pioneers trying to put up a death metal flag on a 'no-man's-land.' We have some doubts (concerning safety and gig's organization) but hopefully the organizers of the show will do the best to make this show an unforgettable experience both for the fans and the band. We are going to play a great concert for a great audience and be back home safe and sound."
Two weeks before the Egypt concert, VADER will embark on a tour of South America, playing 10 shows with MARDUK in such countries as Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela.
Septicflesh Post New Songs Online
A brand new track from the reunited Greek demons SEPTICFLESH (now written as one word), entitled "Anubis", has been posted on the band's MySpace page. The song comes off the group's new album, "Communion", which was released in Europe on March 17 (March 25 in the U.S.) via Season of Mist.
According to a press release, "Communion" "contains nine gates to unearthly dreams and nightmares. The 'rituals' of 'Communion' took place in the famous Studio Fredman in Sweden. The massive heavy guitar sound of the album is supported by a haunting triumphant orchestration that surpasses every past attempt of the band on that field. The classical arrangements are composed and directed by Chris Antoniou (guitar) and performed by the 80-piece full orchestra and 32-piece choir of philharmonic orchestra of Prague. As a result the music besides being brutal is also very 'visual,' like the soundtrack of an occult movie projected straight to your mind. Concerning the vocals, Seth is growling as a hellish beast in contrast with the melodic, yet intense and emotive vocals of Sotiris V. This album is definitely the more dark, brutal and at the same time avant-garde release of the band to date, crossing the borders of death and black metal. Yes, this album is not recommended to people resonating with holy ideals and bright emotions." More...

At the moment they are hard at work on the follow-up to 2003's 'Sumerian Daemons' album. More details concerning the tour will be announced soon."
Commented the band: "The story of The Witcher is set to realm of best-selling fantasy saga by the same title, conjured to life by Andrzej Sapkowski — one of the most acclaimed Polish contemporary writers. It is into his unique world of pervasive magic, bitter conflict and occasional dark humor, that you might be immersed... The game is going to be great, based on BioWare engine, produced in famous motion capture technology, [and] will definitely offer a very special interactive entertainment for all role playing game lovers. Worldwide premiere of The Witcher is set for October 26th, 2007!"
VADER's third DVD, "And Blood Was Shed In Warsaw", will be released in October via Metal Mind Productions and will feature footage from the band's February 12, 2007 concert at Stodola Club in Waraw, documenting the final stop of the group's tour in support of their latest album, "Impressions in Blood".

After my recent breakup, 95 percent of the comments that people have made to me have been loving, supportive and wonderful.
And then there were the ones that were not. Well-meaning? Sure. But not helpful.
One person, for instance, called my Asian ex-boyfriend a "fortune cookie-roller." Racism? Not helpful. One of my girl friends read his Facebook page and proceeded to tell me all the books and movies he likes that signify he's a loser. Dissing the man I (still) love? Not helpful.

Jorge Luis Borges: Conversations (Paperback)
Format: | Paperback 278 pages |
Not available on Waterstones.com
Jorge Luis Borges, one of the indisputably great writers of the twentieth century, was born in Buenos Aires in 1899. Never having been awarded the Nobel Prize, which his readers worldwide believed he deserved, this story writer, poet, essayist, and man of letters died at age eighty-six. This anthology of interviews with him features more than a dozen conversations that cover all phases of his life and work. He discusses his blindness, his family and childhood, early travels, literary friends, and struggles to find his literary identity. In depth he examines the meanings and intentions of his own famous stories and poems, and he speaks of the writers whose works he has loved - Dante, Cervantes, Emerson, Dickinson, H. G. Wells, Kafka, Stevenson, Kipling, Whitman, Frost, and Faulkner - and of those whom he disliked, such as Hemingway and Lorca. Borges expresses his contempt for Peron and assesses the tumultuous politics of Argentina. He speaks also of the imagination as a type of dreaming, about issues of collaboration and translation, about philosophy, and about time.

A man who helped plan and oversee many of Scottsdale's landmark projects has died.
George Fretz, Scottsdale's first city planner in 1963, died of apparent congestive heart failure about 4 a.m. Friday while on a hunting and camping trip in Coconino County near the Grand Canyon with his sons and grandsons, according to his second oldest son, David. He was 83.
Fretz's city planning accomplishments included the Scottsdale Airpark; establishing ordinances that prohibited billboards in the city; underground utilities; and the beginning of the 1970s-era McCormick Ranch, one of the first upscale master-planned communities in the country.
He and his staff also conceived and implemented the design for the Indian Wash Greenbelt, considered one of the nation's most outstanding flood-control projects.
"The older he got, the better he got," George Fretz's wife of 30 years, June, told the Tribune on Tuesday. "He had a lot of compassion. He was a father to my six children, and was especially kind to them. He loved the outdoors."
Fretz was an inductee in the Scottsdale History Hall of Fame in May. His oldest son, Doug, died last month.
An avid fisherman and hunter who ran a fishing camp near Kenai, Alaska, Fretz guided his friends and family to the best fishing holes in America.
In fact, David Fretz said shortly before his father died, their group was sitting around the campfire telling hunting and fishing stories.
"He died doing what he loved to," David Fretz said. "Before he got up to go to bed, one of the last things he said was, 'Well, save a couple for tomorrow.'"
A native of DeKalb County, Ind., and a U.S. Army veteran of World War II, Fretz became Scottsdale's first city planner the same year he moved to the largely undeveloped town that ended at McDonald Drive.
Bill Schrader, former president of the Salt River Project, "coaxed" Fretz into moving to Scottsdale from California, where he held similar jobs with cities throughout Monterey County, June Fretz said.
"It (Scottsdale) was a 'burg' then," Fretz told the Tribune prior to his induction into the Scottsdale History Hall of Fame. "You didn't know where it was going. We started building things we needed. We made history."
Fretz's visitation will be 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at the Messinger Indian School Mortuary, 7601 E. Indian School Road, Scottsdale. Funeral services will be 9 a.m. Thursday at the Franciscan Renewal Center, 5802 E. Lincoln Blvd., Paradise Valley.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — Gwinnett Technical College is poised to help the county become the first Certified Work Ready Community in the metro Atlanta area, school officials told the director of the Governor's Office of Workforce Development on Wednesday.
Ann Sechrist, Gwinnett Tech's director of economic development and Work Ready administrator, said the county needs 190 currently employed workers to earn the Work Ready certificate for Gwinnett to receive the designation. Snellville resident Melvin Everson, the state's work force development director, said he knows the county has what it takes to become a certified community. Through the certification, the statewide initiative enables counties to showcase their ability to staff both existing and new industries. "The more tools we have in the toolbox to position Georgia (to attract businesses), the better off we're going to be," Everson said. "Work Ready is another tool in the toolbox." Everson, a former state representative who was appointed to his current position when Gov. Nathan Deal took office, said he is visiting all 26 technical colleges in the state to learn how the schools are addressing the work force needs of their respective communities. "(Work Ready is) still a young initiative. We have a lot of work to do, and we're prepared to do that," Everson said. "We're going to take the foundation that was laid and build upon it with collaborative partnerships." Technical colleges are key partners in the initiative because they are the "backbone of the workforce," Everson said. He said he thinks there needs to be more parity between the institutions in the Technical College System of Georgia and the University System of Georgia. "I believe we are still in a recession ... and the pendulum is swinging and causing us to rethink how we do things (in education)," Everson said. "Education was built on an agrarian society, but the work force has changed now. The way we did things 15 or 20 years ago, it's gone. The way we do things now, in five years, it will be obsolete. "Technical colleges are proving to be (an important) option as far as the workforce. ... There's a proper place for both institutions of learning."

104jayintune writes "2old2play has a look into Sega's past, examining where they went wrong in the console wars. What did they do to lose their competitive edge, and how did they fall victim to the PS2 and Xbox?" From the article: "Sega started as a small business from which spawned a gaming giant. As with all great Empires, they eventually rot, crumble, and fall from their own ever-grasping hand. After the Genesis they tried to go in too many directions at once and spread their resources too thin. They knew they would have major competition from other game developers, but I bet when they started, they never imagined they would be their own worst enemy."

Would it be ok to use a 9ft 14/3 Medium-Duty extension cord with a 1500 watt portable electric heater? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by spencer_electrician (My Page) on Fri, Nov 4, 11 at 21:41
Yes, but only for temporary use (in that you have an eye on it). And make sure it is a halfway decent UL listed cord, not an imported knock off that has terrible connectors. Anything more than using the heater while attending the room, I wouldn't use a cord at all. Add an outlet where it is needed and run a new circuit. When connection to existing outlets, often normal branch circuits barely take the load, if any of the outlets are back stabbed (not using the screw terminals), be ready for loose connections to start burning apart. |
The cord is UL Listed : 4-UL Certified from Home Depot. Only the heater will be used with it. |
- Posted by spencer_electrician (My Page) on Fri, Nov 4, 11 at 22:45
Again on the leaving it unattended, that would be my only worry. The space heaters often say "do not use extension cord" But that is mainly to keep idiots from using their 18 gauge lamp cord to extend it. The constant 1500 watt load is tough on connectors and adding a cord creates more potential for a connector to overheat and possibly start a fire. If your using it all the time, it would be best to add an outlet. If your using it to place the heater in a certain spot for temporary things, I wouldn't worry about using a cord. |

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Eric Atkins made up for missing the potential game-winning free throw in regulation for Notre Dame by hitting a game-winning 3-pointer in overtime.
Atkins drove into the Boston College defenders, then stepped back and hit the 3-pointer over the outstretched arm of Olivier Hanlan with a second left to give the Irish a 76-73 victory on Saturday, ending a three-game losing streak.
"I just rocked him a little bit, went between my legs, and when he went for the crossover, I really had a clean look at it. As soon as I shot it, I knew it was going in," Atkins said.
Atkins said he wanted to take the shot with only a few seconds left to make sure the Eagles wouldn't have one last chance. Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said he didn't talk strategy with Atkins, who has had to contribute more offensively since the Irish lost Jerian Grant because of an academic violation.
"It was, 'Do it. Go ahead and make a play.' He said to me when we were doing the alma mater after the game, 'Man, I owed you guys that one after missing the free throw,'" Brey said. "But happy for him because he's really had to lead under a tough situation. His style of play has changed a lot since losing his backcourt mate. I was happy he could deliver for us, and he certainly did."
Ryan Anderson, who led the Eagles with 21 points, said that's how the season has gone for Boston College (6-15, 2-6 Atlantic Coast Conference), which fell to 1-7 on the road.
"Today was just another ride on the roller coaster," he said. "There were a lot of ups and downs going on in the game."
The win came as a big relief for the Irish (12-10, 3-6), who won for just the second time in their last eight games.
"Finally, we're getting out of here with a win," Atkins said.
Both teams squandered chances to win in regulation. The Eagles had a chance to open a three-point lead with 7 seconds left, but Hanlan, who failed to score in double figures for just the second time this season, missed the front end of a one-and-one, ending a streak of 13 straight made free throws by the Eagles. Atkins then drove the length of the court and appeared to lose control of the ball, but Hanlan was called for the foul with 0.7 seconds left. Atkins tied the game with his first free, throw, but missed the second.
Atkins scored 16 of his 24 points in the second half and overtime to lead the Irish to the victory. Pat Connaughton added 17 points and nine rebounds and Zach Auguste and V.J. Beachem finished with 10. Beachem scored all his points after intermission, including a 3-pointer early in overtime that gave the Irish their first lead since the first half, as Irish reserves scored 15 points in the second half after being held scoreless in the first.
Lonnie Jackson added 15 points for the Eagles and Joe Rahon added 11. Alex Dragicevich, who played for Notre Dame before transferring following his sophomore season in 2012 because of a lack of playing time, made his first start for BC since Dec. 28. He was booed by the Notre Dame student section every time he touched the ball, and when he finally hit a 3-pointer late in the first half, his teammates on the bench stood up and cheered.
Dragicevich, who is from Northbrook, Ill., said it didn't bother him.
"It was not too much of an emotional experience for me," he said.
Boston College led by as many as nine points in the second half, but the Irish closed to within a point twice before finally tying the score at 58 on a three-point play by Atkins with 3:32 left. After trading baskets, Boston College scored four straight points on a layup by Jackson and a pair of free throws by Rahon. Atkins then hit a 3 for Notre Dame with 47 seconds left to cut the lead to 64-63 and eventually tied the game.
BC coach Steve Donahue said he was pleased with his team's effort.
"I just think we need to take one more little step and we will start winning these games. We were right there," he said.
Brey said he got on his team early in the second half when they got down by nine, saying he thought they were feeling sorry for themselves.
"I'm like, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. I need more competitors,'" he said. "We have great kids. I thought they really rose to the occasion."

The body's natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindful meditation can help you activate this relaxation response. When practiced regularly, these activities lead to a reduction in your everyday stress levels and a boost in your feelings of joy and serenity.
*Click here for stress management tips
With its focus on full, cleansing breaths, deep breathing is a simple, yet powerful, relaxation technique. It's easy to learn, can be practiced almost anywhere, and provides a quick way to get your stress levels in check. Deep breathing is the cornerstone of many other relaxation practices, too, and can be combined with other relaxing elements such as aromatherapy and music. All you really need is a few minutes and a place to stretch out.
How to practice deep breathing
The key to deep breathing is to breathe deeply from the abdomen, getting as much fresh air as possible in your lungs. When you take deep breaths from the abdomen, rather than shallow breaths from your upper chest, you inhale more oxygen. The more oxygen you get, the less tense, short of breath, and anxious you feel. So the next time you feel stressed, take a minute to slow down and breathe deeply:
If you have a hard time breathing from your abdomen while sitting up, try lying on the floor. Put a small book on your stomach, and try to breathe so that the book rises as you inhale and falls as you exhale.
Progressive muscle relaxation is another effective and widely used strategy for stress relief. It involves a two-step process in which you systematically tense and relax different muscle groups in the body.
With regular practice, progressive muscle relaxation gives you an intimate familiarity with what tension—as well as complete relaxation—feels like in different parts of the body. This awareness helps you spot and counteract the first signs of the muscular tension that accompanies stress. And as your body relaxes, so will your mind. You can combine deep breathing with progressive muscle relaxation for an additional level of relief from stress.
Most progressive muscle relaxation practitioners start at the feet and work their way up to the face.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation Sequence
Meditation that cultivates mindfulness is particularly effective at reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions. Mindfulness is the quality of being fully engaged in the present moment, without analyzing or otherwise "over-thinking" the experience.
